Ah, but you know: the loading time and the CPU. You outsource the dynamic part to disqus and the actual content gets loaded really fast.

  And you lose commenters (like me) and give away control over parts of your site as well as content. Also by the time you outsource a comment system due to CPU your site probably is big enough for a "real" CMS.. or atleast better hardware, it's not like a good vserver is expensive nowadays.

    Not everyone is a knowledgeable web developer, or is interested in the security maintenance of a custom solution, of which you have even less knowledge about the data they collect. For example, I have a friend who runs a small business selling music samples. He uses WordPress because it is a simple solution that can do a lot for him without a super amount of technical savvy. I think WordPress is disgusting, but the point is, there is a market for these products. If you feel strongly against this trend, you should consider developing one that drives your vision that has similar practical value.

    Those may be prices worth paying for some users...
